    MS put it on the state's ballot. #65 would take time for the state to set up a network within the state. #65-A would let companies enter the state and get the network started as officials figure out what's best. #65-A passed, 9 months later not the first shop has opened in the state. State officials have repelled #65-A. We're still waiting.

    If it was legalized, I’d try it again, at least a couple times. I tried a few times back in high school. I’ve always been very unlucky when it comes to breaking the law so I haven’t tried it since. I am very curious about gummies though.
    For the record, I don’t drink, don’t take any drugs beyond what my Dr. prescribes and I only want to try it purely out of curiosity.
    If it was ever up for a vote, I’d also vote to allow it although I’m not sure I want to see Bud’s Budz shop open down on the corner!

    legalize it.. Pot and Prostitution.. I read the different post and i do not think i say anything about the now criminal problems with them being a illegal.. POT the cartels and some local groups and individuals are very violent and sometimes killing people over money or for informing to law enforcement or for being their competitors, STOP the cash flow to criminal groups.. Sometime dealing slavery and shipping American young girls to foreign countries.. And as for PROSTITUTION because it is illegal you have the worst of the worst praying on them getting them addicted and keeping them addicted to drugs beating them sometimes killing them.. I could go on and on,, it is about time that they become legal so the businesses can take the profits and put back in the American economy.. Also so protect those who are now under the thump of the criminal groups controlling them!!!

    I don' tknow how you even argue that this is a done issue, I just wish there was a way to keep the under 21 away from it, I do believe it stunts brain growth, the younger you start the more damage it does, same as alcohol and every other drug out there

    There is, teach them. We have proven that making them illegal has not stopped them from getting it.

    Do you aldo believe we should make guns illegal so murder is stopped?

    Not me. Alcohol’s legality and wide availability hasn’t influenced me to imbibe. There is zero draw to try MJ just because it becomes legal.

    My very limited understanding of the case is that the pharmacies were knowingly filling multiple scripts for the same opioid written by multiple doctors for the same patients.
    If true then that is a problem. My drug store knows exactly what they have given me and when I am allowed to have a refill. Now a different pharmacy will likely not know.

    Based upon my research :) , pot does not clear my system for about 3 days, the hangover effects are reduced energy level and diminished ambition. It makes my life less than what it was before.

    Medically it can do wonders when I have a headache or stomach ache and a friend tells me it very much helps with menstrual cramps.

    I don't care if they legalize it.
    The little 5mg gummies help you sleep very well. But I dont know anything about that....

    The draw has nothing to do with it’s legality. I just know if I was to acquire some now, the legal system would be on my butt in a matter of minutes. That’s just how my life has been. Only thing I have ever gotten away with is my lead foot!

    Nowadays they just might, I think they are all hooked together through the computers.

    I don't think purple is necessary and for one of the few times in my life I agree with Democrats on something. Pot, prostitution and all manner of other victimless crimes should not be made illegal by government.

    If I want to smoke a joint and sell my body for sex to some 19 year old hard body girl with daddy issues, why should that be illegal?
    let me know when you find that 19 year old......I wanna be next.

    Just my own .02 (my first real post on here so… hello)

    I’ve read many for and in oppositions in this thread. Some with great points and others that lack hardly any.

    Your body has a system specifically for processing the use of marijuana. It’s called the Endocannabinoid System. This plant has been used as a natural medicine for generations by many different race of people from all over the world. It wasn’t until The chemical and pharmaceutical industry got involved that caused the illegalities. It’s a plant that is literally a weed that can grow just about anywhere even with no help from a grower. This is direct competition with their sales. So of course they would pay to have it made illegal. So easy to grow anyone can grow it in their backyard.

    Anything can be abused. Just like the use of guns can be abused. People have no issue accepting legalized drug dealers and prescription drugs but a completely natural plant that you “can’t” overdose with is taboo. Go figure.

    The government has no right to tell you what you can or can’t do with your body anymore than it should be able to tell you what you can or can’t defend yourself with.

    Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness…. Please Don’t be hypocritical.


    The only reason democrats push for local legalization is because it furthers their Anti-gun agenda.

    In Hawaii when they made it locally legal. All these people flocked to get medical marijuana permits. The local government then cross referenced the medical permits with background checks to purchase firearms. They then sent out letters to those firearm owners to turn in their guns or else search warrants would be issued to go collect them from them by force.


    The only way to legalize it is to do it federally by rescheduling it. Until then you are still a felon for simply using it medicinally even if it’s locally legal.

    Don’t get suckered into this…

    I am pro marijuana because I’ve seen how much it has helped many many people medicinally. Please don’t be biased because you can use Tylenol or Ibuprofen and it works for you, where people like myself it does not work on and even gives me severe stomach pain from ingesting. I’ve been dealing with pain for years, in and out of Dr offices, and have a prescription list a mile long. None of the prescriptions that allow me to function do anything for my pain, while the ones that are specifically for pain prevent me from even functioning at all. You can not live life or provide for your family if you are medicated to the point that you can’t get out of bed.

    I’d like to be able to have the choice in trying weed to see if I can get off all the crap the Dr’s have me on, but I will never give up my right to own or possess a firearm for a little to no pain relief guarantee. So yeah I say legalize it. Let the people have the choice to try or not. Just like you allow people to carry or not.

    To those calling it a gateway drug.

    The only reason it is a gateway drug is because you force people to look for dealers to get it. Dealers don’t care about you. They just want your money (just like pharmacies - it’s a business). So they will either put crap in it that causes addiction, or say “sorry I don’t have weed, BUT I do have this, and it’s way better”.

    Make it legal federally so people can grow their own medicine. If it’s available everywhere then there won’t be a need to supply it illegally so it will reduce the drug trade considerably. Why do hard crap if you can grow stuff that won’t kill you or give you a drug dependence that causes you to do crime to pay for an actual addiction.

    Anyways… this has turned into a book of a rant.

    I hope that you all have a safe and great thanksgiving.

    I don't know how the pharmacies could be held responsible unless the prescriptions were fraudulent, and they reasonably should have known that they were fraudulent. Seems like they'd go after the doctors that allegedly wrote the prescriptions.

    Two words. Deep pockets. Money is the only relevant thing here.

    At the end of the day I think you will see MJ legalized, but regulated. Guys like John Boehner don't get involved in this business unless it's a gold mine. MJ will be kept expensive and growing regulated, which will keep the cartels in business doing both legal exportation and illegal. Domestic growers will require a new group of Inspectors and regulatory paperwork.Some law enforcement will be cast in new jobs for MJ "revenoors".

    The objective of this whole corrupt charade will be for leadership to extract the maximum amount of money from the public and spread it around to their friends, nothing else will change.

    Always follow the money

    Uhhh, 29 states made marijuana illegal between 1916 and 1931, and then in 1937 weed was essentially banned nationwide by the Marihuana Tax Act of 1937

    If there was such a thing as 'big Pharma' then, it was in Germany and had an AG or a Gmbh after its name
